Subject:US English (was Instructions for Stupid People) From:LaVonna Funkhouser <lffunkhouser -at- HALNET -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 20 Jan 1994 13:45:16 -0600
Bonni's story--sign was not in Spanish, therefore store was
negligent--reminded me about a current debate.
Some persons wish to pass legislation saying that English shall
be the official language of the United States. I believe that
one effect of such a law would be that the store in the story
above would not be held liable.
What do my fellow tech writers think about the US English debate?
